Contrast Security
Secure from the inside out.
Overview
Contrast Security offers a unique approach to application security by embedding security analysis and protection directly into the application itself. The platform provides interactive application security testing (IAST) to identify vulnerabilities in real-time during the development and testing process, and runtime application self-protection (RASP) to protect applications from attacks in production. Contrast also includes software composition analysis (SCA) to manage open-source risk.
✨ Key Features
